I’ve never done one of these, so this is my debut. I heard Hoshi lost her shirt again in some freakish transporter accident. I give it a pre-emptive fifty bajillion stars. ---

I thought they still called it “the transportation device” back in the 22rd century. ---

No fair starting it if you haven’t seen it. Who are you anyway, Crewman Daniels? 🙂 This is an outstanding episode and I wouldn’t want it spoiled for me. See ya’ll Wednesday night. ---

Maybe Phlox finally tells Archer to piss off and stop ordering him to do things contrary to his medical ethics. Didn’t you hear, **Aes**? The transporter device accident mixes Hoshi’s DNA with our departed **Kn\*ckers** ’ and she actually loses her _pants_. ---

The previews for this ep reminds me of that one Voyager ep where 7/9 had to run the ship by herself while everybody else dozed off during a trip through a giant nebula. And whatever happened to **Kn\*ckers**? ---

And speaking of the timeline: Are there any _Trek_ chronologies out there that take the events of _Enterprise_ into account, and try to reconcile them with the previously established canon? (Or at least try to point out the contradictions?) ---

She quit her job from hell, **kasuo**. Unfortunately for us, she’s still in the Dark Ages and used said job to surf the 'net and post on the board instead of having her own PC at home. It’s been about six months but I have her immortalized in my location field. I shall never forget. Oh, and my insider told me that it wasn’t a transportation device malfunction that made her lose her shirt after all. It was the good doctor himself when he was giving her a physical. Phlox is now my most favoritest character ever (discounting Hoshi and Ezri). ---

The preview seems to show that half of the crew needs to rest because of mis-applied neuro-pressure techniques while the rest are too tired after all those extra drills called by Reed and Hayes. Phlox is the only one left, but unfortunately he presses the “Disco” button, wondering what it does, and spends the rest of the episode going slowly insane. Fortunately Otto is at the helm. ---

Oh, cut the bleeding heart crap, will ya? We’ve all got our switches, lights, and knobs to deal with, Tars. I mean, down here there are literally hundreds and thousands of blinking, beeping, and flashing lights, blinking and beeping and flashing - they’re _flashing_ and they’re _beeping_. I can’t stand it anymore! They’re _blinking_ and _beeping_ and _flashing_! Why doesn’t somebody pull the plug on Bermagma?! ---

Teaser: Opening shot lingers on exterior view from the front. A marvelously beautiful shot, as all modern Treks did every now and then just to satisfy our longings for seeing the ship. I approve. Series of shots of empty ship is cool, because it has PORTHOS! He’s a good doggy! Yes he is! Yes he is! Who’s a good doggy? You are! Numnumnumnumnumnum. ---

Act I: Phlox learns more about Earther dawgs. He has funny looking feets. Now for an explanation of what’s going on by way of a letter being dictated by Phlox (while feeding Porthos cheese). _flashback_ A transdimensional disturbance in their way. Go around? NO! Dampen the crew’s neocortexes by being put into a coma for 4 days. Must travel at impulse because Trip suggested that the disturbance would mess with the warp thingies, and with no one awake… BLEEWIIEEEE! A nod to Mayweather via diologue mention. Captain goes down last, of course. After a little speachy by both Phlox and Quantum. Jibber jabber. _/flashback_ Suddenly, phlox thinks he hears some one. Autin Powers type nudity for Phlox. Danny Kaye movie night. Phlox keeps hearing things… He watched _The Exhorcist_ last week, so maybe he’s imagining things, hmmm? AAAHHHH! VULCAN! Oh…, just T’Pol. She didn’t have to go coma, apparantly. Did they say that at the start? I don’t recall it. Quantum’s statement made it seem like it was only Phlox. T’Pol: "I’m on the bridge. Phlox: Then, Who was THAT!? ---

The DNA i did today looks like crap, which means i’ll have to redo it. So much fun, especially since we are under a deadline. Hopefully i can get out of here in time to see the show. (is my checkbox red to anyone else? It’s red on my display since i am invisible) ---

Act II: Phlox feeling out T’Pol about the possible other person? Some background info about Denobula. A little funny bit about T’Pol and Trip. Very short, but interesting. Look for it. We need to talk about this. Phlox misses home. Phlox: There’s something on the wing! T’Pol: Channeling a young Bill Shatner, are we? XINDI BUG! (or was it?) Damn! That girl’s ass is FINE! And Phlox plans on stopping the Bugs. Go, man, go! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/enterprise-doctors-orders-spoilers/229756.md?page=2)
